It won't be easy for FAJJAJ to give away his winner's penalty to most of these rivals but he showed a good level of form last term and could be the type to progress this campaign. Imaginative looks a big danger having hinted at better to come on his only outing last season and hailing from a yard that warrants plenty of respect. Newcomer Laughing Stranger holds some fancy entries and will need to show plenty to justify those hopes, while it wouldn't surprise to see decent efforts from the likes of Loyal Promise, Allied, and Colenso, among others.
